This review is from: The Collaborative Work Systems Fieldbook: Strategies, Tools, and Techniques (Paperback)
Over the years the Center for the Study of Work Teams has published a number of books describing the theory and practice of team dynamics. The latest edition of the Collaborative Work Systems Fieldbook simply sets the standard at a higher level. This book provides readers with a wealth of practical, team-oriented perspectives and applications for improving individual, team and organizational performance. If you are on a team, thinking about starting a team, leading a team or interested in creating a high performance culture, this book is for you.

Excellent Resource Book,
This review is from: The Collaborative Work Systems Fieldbook: Strategies, Tools, and Techniques (Paperback)
The collaborative Work System Fieldbook is one of the best reference books about teams, leadership, coaching, and a wide variety of collaboration topics that I have found. Working in the consulting industry for over 12 years you see a lot of books about similar topics but they are not well researched or well written - this book is both!
